Novel functional fluid

ABSTRACT

Corrosion inhibiting aqueous functional fluids having high stability are provided which contain (a) water, (b) a corrosion inhibiting, surface active, water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a water insoluble carboxylic acid group terminated monoamide, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally, (d) water soluble or dispersible lubricant. These functional fluids are useful as a metal working fluid or hydraulic fluid.

This invention relates to aqueous functional fluid compositions particularly adapted for uses such as metal working compositions and hydraulic fluid compositions. In another of its aspects, this invention relates to aqueous lubricant compositions.

BACKGROUND

Various types of materials are used as functional fluids and functional fluids of various compositions find utility in many different applications. Among such applications are included electronic coolants, hydraulic fluids, metal working fluids, lubricants, damping fluids, heat transfer fluids and diffusion pump fluids. Aqueous functional fluids, for such uses as lubricants, metal working fluids and hydraulic fluids, have been gaining importance over non-aqueous (e.g. mineral oil based compositions) functional fluids because of their economic, environmental and safety advantages, as well as their performance. As metal working fluids aqueous functional fluids have been used in chip forming and non-chip forming metal working processes well known in the art, such as drilling, tapping, broaching, grinding, rolling, drawing, spinning, milling, bending and stamping. The demand for aqueous type hydraulic fluids has been increasing because of the economic and safety (e.g. high non-flammability) advantages of such fluids over non-aqueous oil type hydraulic fluids. The increasing cost of petroleum products in recent years has served to emphasize the economic advantage of aqueous functional fluids over non-aqueous, oil type, functional fluids and has accelerated the demand for aqueous functional fluids.

To take full advantage of their economic, environmental and safety advantages, aqueous functional fluids must not only provide the necessary functions in the particular use to which they are put, but they must also exhibit numerous other properties such as, for example, high stability during storage and use, resistance to decomposition and anti corrosion. These properties are particularly important to the life and appearance of the metal components of metal working apparatus and hydraulic systems and to the useful life of the aqueous functional fluids. When used as a metal working fluid, for example, the aqueous functional fluid should not only provide the necessary cooling and lubricating functions, but it also desirably should be highly resistant to separation of its components during storage and use and it should provide protection against corrosion of the work piece and the metal working apparatus (e.g. bearings, shafts, slides, tools, etc). Where an aqueous functional fluid would be employed as a hydraulic fluid it not only should meet the requirements of viscosity control, thermal stability, mechanical stability and lubrication but among other things it also desirably should be stable during storage and inhibit the corrosion of the components of the hydraulic system (e.g. pumps, valves, tubing, cylinders and pistons).

Although numerous aqueous metal working fluids and aqueous hydraulic fluids are known in the art, those aqueous fluids have not entirely met the performance demands placed upon them by their users and often have been found wanting in various properties such as, for example, storage stability, stability during use and corrosion protection. Improved aqueous functional fluids are needed which overcome stability and corrosion problems of the prior art aqueous functional fluids.

One way to reduce problems, such as stability problems, in functional fluids is to reduce the number of components of such fluids by using multifunctioning materials (e.g. materials having combined bacteriocidal and anti-corrosion activity, combined emulsifier and bacteriocidal activity or emulsifier and anti-corrosion activity). Since multifunctional materials can reduce the number of components of functional fluid formulations they simplify such formulations and the processes for their preparation. This invention makes use of a multifunctional component having surface active and corrosion inhibiting activities not previously recognized by the prior art.

It is an object of this invention to overcome the disadvantages of prior art aqueous functional fluids. Another object of this invention is to provide a highly stable aqueous functional fluid imparting a high degree of corrosion protection.

Methods well known in the art for preparing amides and amine salts may be used to prepare the surface active, corrosion inhibiting salts according to formula (I). In one such method, one mole of the dicarboxylic acid reagent (e.g. maleic acid) is reacted with one mole of the primary monoamine reagent (e.g. 2-ethylhexyl amine) and then one mole of the resulting water insoluble amide product added to one mole of a water soluble monoalkanol amine (e.g. monoethanol amine) to form the amine salt of the free carboxylic acid group of the amide. The formation of the water insoluble carboxylic acid group containing amide product, for example, results from the reaction of one of the carboxylic acid groups of the dicarboxylic acid reagent with the amine group of the primary monoamine reagent and then the salt is obtained, for example, by the ionic interaction of the free carboxylic acid group of the amide product with the amine group of the water soluble monoalkanol amine. According to a second method for forming a surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) one mole of a dicarboxylic acid reagent is reacted with one mole of a secondary amine reagent ##STR12## to obtain a water insoluble amide product having one free carboxylic acid group and then adding one mole of said amide product to one mole of a water soluble alkyl amine to form the amine salt of the free carboxylic acid group of the amide product. In preparing the water insoluble amide product having a free carboxylic acid group there may be employed a small molar excess of the dicarboxylic reagent or the primary or the secondary amine reagent. Preferably a small excess of the dicarboxylic acid reagent is employed. In the salt formation step there may be desirably employed as excess of the salt forming water soluble amine to insure essentially complete salt formation. In place of the dicarboxylic acid reagent (HOOC-R-COOH) there may be employed the corresponding anhydride or acyl halide in equal molar amount, to prepare the water insoluble amide product having a free carboxylic acid group. The use of elevated temperature and inert atmosphere, although optional, may be advantageous in the step for the preparation of the water insoluble amide product having a free carboxylic acid group. However, elevated temperatures and inert atmosphere are usually not necessary in the salt formation step for forming the salts according to formula (I). Inert solvents may be used in either or both the amide product formation step and the salt formation step for preparing the salts according to formula (I).

Water soluble or dispersible lubricants usable in the practice of the composition and method of this invention include synthetic and natural lubricants. As examples of natural lubricants there include petroleum oils, animal oils and fats, vegetable oils and fats and oils or marine origin. The petroleum oils may include paraffinic, naphthenic, asphaltic and mixed base oils. Among the synthetic lubricants are included hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g. polybutylenes, propylene/isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes, etc); alkyl benzenes (e.g. dodecylbenzene, tetradecylbenzene, dinonylbenzene, di(2-ethylhexyl) benzene, etc); polyphenyls (e.g., bi-phenyls, terphenyls, etc.); and the like. The alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., comprise another class of known synthetic lubricating oils. These are exemplified by the oils prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g. methylpolyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 500 to 1000, diethyl ether or polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000 to 1500, etc.) or mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C₃ -C₈ fatty acid esters, or the C₁₃ Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.

Other synthetic lubricants may include, for example, esters of dicarboxylic acids, (e.g. phthalic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, etc.) with a variety of alcohols (e.g. butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, pentaerythritol, etc.). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebecate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicoxyl sebacate, and the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer.

Another useful class of synthetic lubricants include the silicone based oils such as, for example, polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils (e.g. tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra(2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-tetraethyl) silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexyl-(4-methyl-2-pentoxy) disiloxane, poly(methyl) siloxanes, poly(methylphenyl) siloxanes, etc.). Other synthetic lubricants include the esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g. tri-cresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decane phosphonic acid, etc.), polymeric tetrahydrofurans, and the like.

There may also be used as the synthetic lubricant modified petroleum oils, such as, for example, the well known soluble oils obtained by the sulfonation of petroleum oil, modified animal oils and fats, such as the chlorinated and/or sulfonated animal oils and fats, and the modified vegetable oils and fats, such as, for example, the chlorinated and/or sulfonated vegetable oils and fats. Sulfurized natural oils are also useful in this invention.

As the second surface active agent usable in the practice of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition and the method of this invention there include the anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surface active agents. These surface active agents are particularly organic compounds and often more particularly synthetic organic compounds. However, naturally occuring compounds which are surface active agents are not excluded from the practice of this invention. Examples of anionic surface active agents include but are not limited to alkali salts of petroleum sulfonic acids, alkali metal salts of alkyl aryl sulfonic acids (e.g. sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), alkali metal, ammonium and amine soaps of fatty acids (e.g. sodium stearate), sodium dialkyl sulfosuccinate, sulfated oils (e.g. sulfated castor oil) alkali metal alkyl sulfates and sulfonated oils (e.g. sulfonated tallow). Cationic surface active agents include, for example, cetyl pyridinium bromide, hexadecyl morpholinium chloride, dilauryl triethylene tetramine diacetate, didodecylamine lactate, 1-amino-2-heptadecenyl imidazoline acetate, cetylamine acetate, tertiary ethoxylated soya amine and oleylamine acetate. As nonionic surface active agents there include, for example, alkylene oxide adducts of fatty alcohols (e.g. ethylene oxide adduct of oleyl alcohol), alkylene oxide adducts of alkyl phenols (e.g. ethylene oxide adduct of nonyl phenol), alkylene oxide adducts of fatty acids (e.g. tetraethylene glycol monopalmitate, monoethylene glycol dioleate and hexaethylene glycol monostearate), partial higher fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols (e.g. clycerol monostearate, sorbitan tristearate, glycerol dioleate and pentaerythritol tripalmitate), alkylene oxide condensates of polyhydric alcohols (e.g. ethylene oxide condensates of glycerol, sorbitol, mannitol and pentaerythritol) and alkylene oxide condensates of polyhydric alcohol partial esters (e.g. ethylene oxide condensate of sorbitan monolaurate, glycerol monooleate and pentaerythritol monostearate).

Among amphoteric surface active agents there are included, for example, alkyl-β-iminodipropionate, alkyl-β-amino-propionate, fatty imidazolines and betaines, more specifically 1-coco-5-hydroxyethyl-5-carboxymethyl imidazoline, dodecyl-β-alanine, N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl amino acetic acid and 2-trimethyl amino lauric acid inner salts.

The nonionic surface active agents are especially useful in the practice of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition and method of this invention. There may, however, be used a mixture of surface active agents of like or different types (e.g. mixture of nonionic surface active agents, mixture of anionic and nonionic surface active agents, mixture of cationic and nonionic surface active agents and a compatible mixture of cationic and anionic surface active agents). In some cases, surface active agents are known to have lubricating properties and such surface active agents can advantageously be employed in the practice of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition and method of this invention.

The concentration of the second surface active agent may vary widely in the practice of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition and method of this invention depending upon the nature of the surface active agents and the other components of the functional fluid composition. Thus, the amount of the surface active agent may vary depending upon whether it is a cationic or an anionic or a nonionic or an amphoteric surface active agent as well as its particular structure and molecular composition. Usually, the second surface active agent can be employed in an amount of from 0.002% to 10%, preferably from 0.01% to 5% based on the total weight of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition.

In accordance with this invention there is provided a corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition having a pH in the range of 8 to 12 comprising water, a salt according to formula (I), a second surface active agent and optionally a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. The amount of water in the functional fluid composition of this invention may vary over a wide range and is generally between 15% and 99.8% by weight based on the total weight of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition. Preferably the amount of water is from 40% to 99.5% by weight based on the total weight of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition. Under some circumstances a very small amount of water in the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition would be desirable. Such a circumstance would be the more favorable economics obtained in shipping costs for a formulation having a low water content since water is not being shipped and the user is not paying for shipping water which he could just as well subsequently add prior to use to achieve the desired composition. The surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) may be present in the aqueous functional fluid composition of this invention in an amount of from 0.002% to 50%, preferably 0.02% to 10%, by weight based on the total weight of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition. Under some use conditions, the surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) may be present in the aqueous functional fluid composition in rather small amounts such as, for example, from 0.002% to 0.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. There can be present from 0.002% to 10%, preferably from 0.01% to 5%, by weight of a water soluble or dispersible lubricant, based upon the total weight of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition of this invention.

Among the preferred corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid compositions of this invention, prior to any dilution, are those comprising from 40% to 75% by weight water, from 1.0% to 10% by weight of a surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) and from 0.5% to 5% by weight of a second surface active agent and 0.5% to 5% by weight of a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. Even more preferred corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid compositions according to this invention, prior to any dilution, are compositions comprising from 40% to 75% by weight of water, from 1.0% to 10% by weight of a surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) wherein R is a monoethylenically unsaturated C₂ to C₃ aliphatic radical having two free valences in a cis stereo configuration, R¹ is a C₇ to C₁₀ aliphatic group having at least one methyl or ethyl branch, R² is hydrogen and Z is an alkanol amine cation and from 0.5% to 5% by weight of a second surface active agent and from 0.5% to 5% by weight of a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. There may be added to the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition of this invention various other materials well known in the art to be added to functional fluids such as, for example, extreme pressure agents, antioxidants, additional corrosion inhibitors, bacteriocides and anti-foaming agents well known in the art in commonly used amounts usually from about 0.001% to about 15% by weight.

Methods commonly known in the art may be used to prepare the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid compositions according to this invention. When utilizing such commonly known methods for mixing or blending together a plurality of materials, the order of addition of the water, the second surface active agent, the surface active, corrosion inhibiting, water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a water insoluble carboxylic acid terminated amide having one amide linkage ##STR13## per molecule, or the salt according to formula (I), and the water soluble or dispersible lubricant may vary. Thus, for example, the surface active, corrosion inhibiting, water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a water insoluble carboxylic acid terminated amide having one amide linkage ##STR14## per molecule or the salt according to formula (I) may be added to and mixed into the water, the second surface active agent added, and then the water soluble or dispersible lubricant added to and mixed into the resulting mixture. Alternatively, for example, the water soluble or dispersible lubricant may be added to and mixed into the water, followed by the second surface active agent, and then the surface active, corrosion inhibiting, water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a water insoluble carboxylic acid group terminated amide having one amide linkage ##STR15## per molecule or the surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) may be added to and mixed into the resulting mixture. Variations on these methods can be practiced, as would be well known to one skilled in the art. The surface active, corrosion inhibiting water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt according to formula (I) may be formed in situ by the addition of the water insoluble carboxylic acid terminated amide having one amide linkage ##STR16## per molecule to the water containing the salt forming alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine compounds in the absence or presence of either or both of the second surface active agent and water soluble or dispersible lubricant when preparing the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition according to this invention. In accordance with this invention there is provided a method of imparting corrosion inhibiting activity to an aqueous functional fluid having a pH in the range of 8 to 12 comprising the step of mixing together (a) a surface active, corrosion inhibiting, water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a carboxylic acid terminated amide having one amide linkage ##STR17## per molecule, (b) water, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally (d) a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. As one embodiment of the method of this invention there is provided a method comprising the step of mixing together (a) a corrosion inhibiting effective amount of a surface active, corrosion inhibiting water soluble or dispersible salt according to formula (I), (b) water, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally (d) a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. In accordance with a second embodiment there is provided a method for imparting corrosion inhibiting activity to an aqueous functional fluid having a pH in the range of 8 to 12 comprising the step of mixing together (a) a corrosion inhibiting effective amount of a surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) wherein R is a monoethylenically unsaturated C₂ to C₃ aliphatic radical having two free valences in a cis stereo configuration, R¹ is a divalent C₇ to C₁₀ aliphatic group having at least one methyl or ethyl branch, R² is hydrogen and Z is an alkanol amine cation, (b) water, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally (d) a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. In another embodiment there is provided a method for imparting corrosion inhibiting activity to an aqueous functional fluid having a pH in the range of 8 to 12 comprising the step of mixing together (a) a corrosion inhibiting effective amount of a surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) wherein R is the monoethylenically unsaturated C₂ to C₃ aliphatic group having two free valences in a cis stereo configuration, R¹ is the C₇ to C₁₀ aliphatic group having at least one methyl or ethyl branch and R² is hydrogen, (b) water, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally (d) a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. As a further embodiment there is provided a method for imparting corrosion inhibiting activity to an aqueous functional fluid having a pH in the range of 8 to 12 comprising the step of mixing together (a) a corrosion inhibiting effective amount of surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) wherein R is the divalent cycloaliphatic radical and R¹ is the C₇ to C₁₀ aliphatic group having at least one methyl or ethyl branch, and R² is hydrogen, (b) water, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally (d) a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. In a still further embodiment there is provided a method for imparting corrosion inhibiting activity to an aqueous functional fluid having a pH in the range of 8 to 12 comprising the step of mixing together (a) a corrosion inhibiting effective amount of a surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) wherein R is the monoethylenically unsaturated C₂ to C₃ aliphatic radical having two free valences in a cis stereo configuration, (b) water, (c) a second surface active agent and optionally (d) a water soluble or dispersible lubricant. The corrosion inhibiting effective amount of the surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) may vary widely depending upon several factors, one of which may be the composition of the salt according to formula (I). However, the surface active, corrosion inhibiting salt according to formula (I) may be used in the method of this invention in an amount from about 0.002% to about 50%, preferably 0.002% to 10%, by weight based upon the total weight of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid composition.

EXAMPLES 64-92

In these examples there are demonstrated the corrosion inhibiting activity in respect to ferrous metals for various salts of the carboxylic acid terminated amide in accordance with formula (I) usable in the practice of this invention. The metal (i.e. cast iron and steel) test specimens were prepared and tested in the following manner. The flat surface of the cast iron rod test piece was ground and lapped to obtain a uniform surface which was free of scratches, etchings, cross grains or other artifacts. The flat surface of the cast iron test piece was wiped clean with lens paper and then blown clean with air. Immediately after cleaning the cast iron test piece it was placed in a humidity box (100% relative humidity) and a small amount of the test fluid uniformly distributed over the ground and lapped flat surface of the cast iron test piece. The humidity box was then closed and sealed. The cast iron test piece was allowed to remain in the closed and sealed humidity box overnight and then removed for examination.

In the corrosion tests on steel plugs, the flat surface of the steel test pieces were prepared in the same manner as the surfaces of the cast iron test pieces (see above). A small amount of the test fluid was then uniformly distributed over the prepared surface of the steel test pieces after they had been placed in the humidity box. The humidity box was then closed and sealed and the steel test pieces kept in the box overnight. The steel test pieces were cleaned, allowed to dry and then examined.

EXAMPLES 107-110

The use of the corrosion inhibiting, aqueous functional fluid compositions according to this invention as a metal working fluid is exemplified in these examples by evaluating the lubricity of the compositions in accordance with the following V-tool test procedure.

A wedge-shaped high-speed tool is forced against the end of a rotating (88 surface feet per minute) SAE 1020 steel tube of 1/4 inch wall thickness. The feed force of the tool is sufficient to cut a V-groove in the tubing wall, and the chips flow out of the cutting area in two pieces (one piece from each face of the wedge-shaped tool). The forces on the tool as a result of workpiece rotation and of tool feed are measured by a tool post dynamometer connected to a Sanborn recorder. Any welding of chips to tool build-up is reflected in the interruption of chip-flow (visual) and in increased force and resistance to workpiece rotation. The cutting test is performed with the tool-chip interface flooded throughout the operation with circulating test fluid. Tool and workpiece are in constant dynamic contact during this time, and the test is not begun until full contact is achieved all along each cutting edge. The duration of the test is three minutes.
